The story aspect of the game is hindered by significant bugs that prevent players from achieving decisive victory ratings in missions, particularly in Kursk and Belgorod. Additionally, the save and exit feature is frustratingly unreliable, causing players to lose all progress on missions. Overall, the narrative experience is marred by technical issues that detract from gameplay enjoyment.
“The most annoying feature... save & exit... loses all your progress on the mission, for goodness' sake!”

The gameplay is characterized by a unique mechanic that blends elements of combat and puzzle-solving, though it may not fully satisfy fans of either genre. While it offers good fun, the obscure combat system can lead to confusion about its classification as a wargame or puzzle game.
“Good fun game with a very unique mechanic.”
“It has an obscure combat mechanic and should perhaps be treated more like a puzzle game than a wargame, blurring the lines but not doing either side that much justice.”
